Smoked the lights on my CL600!!

Ok, so I finally got off my *** and did it. I smoked the side markers, turn signals in the mirrors, center brake light, and the tails. On the tails, I masked off the white for the first 2 coats so that the white is a little lighter. What do you guys think? BTW, sorry for all the dirt...it rained on my way to the hangar to do this.

I'm not a fan of smoking taillights but these aren't bad
I think it's a little too dark
Great ride btw!

For some reason I like your stock light better...well maybe it looks better with the light tint Did you paint by yourself?

Yes, I did them myself. They aren't quite as dark as they appear in the pictures...but they are still darker than I intended them to be. In person, though, you can still see red through them even with no lights on. I just couldn't stand all that damn red anymore.

Nicely done man. Now it's time for some black wheels to complete the sinister look.
